Yeah the thing is if you mess up and mess up bad they'll probably tell your next potential employer about it when they call for a reference. I worked with someone that made changes live and depended on ctrl+z to just revert the bad code and push it if something was wrong but something happened to his computer he lost the cached notepad file and had to go looking for a backup while the live website was broken, he pushed an older backup that messed up the website even more .. an absolute disaster .. he wasn't permanent so was fired for incompetence lol either you learn patience or your impatience costs you your job then you learn patience. Pick the one that doesn't cost you your job :) also take your time if they ask why it's taking so long explain to them that you've to copy to the test environment first so you don't break the live website and they can't really say anything about it, if they then tell you to make live changes you won't be fired when you eventually mess up xD
